H134 Plate by Hamada Shoji

H134 A plate by Hamada Shoji.

One of Hamada’s most favoured combinations…a dry background done with a local red clay slip and trailed Tenmoku and Nuka. These plates were very much inspired by the slipware Hamada saw while in the UK with Bernard Leach in the 1920’s. Yanagi Soetsu also gathered together a collection of English slipware that Hamada would have been very familiar with.
